the Shareholders as set out in paragraph 4 above.
Article 18
Inventions
(1) In relation to Inventions made by the Company's staff, the Company shall apply the rules of the
German Law on Inventions by Employees (Gesetz über Arbeitnehmer-erfindungen - ArbnErfG). If the
Company decides not to apply for a patent in one or more countries, with the consent of the Company,
the employee who made the Invention may apply for such protection in his or her own name, at his or
her own expense and for his or her own benefit.
(2) In relation to Inventions made in the course of their work at the Company by staff seconded to the
Company by a Shareholder, the following provisions shall apply:
a) Subject to legislative or contractual provisions applicable to Inventions of employees, the
seconding Shareholder shall be the owner of all rights in the Inventions made solely by the
seconded employee. The seconding Shareholder shall have the right to apply in any country
in its own name, at its own expense and for its own benefit for patents necessary for the
protection of such Inventions. The Company and the other Shareholders shall have free of
charge the right of use of the Inventions for research purposes and the right to a licence for
purposes other than research on fair and reasonable terms. In addition, the Shareholder
owning the rights shall not refuse to grant, at the request of another Shareholder, to any
natural or legal person in the country or countries of the Shareholders a licence for purposes
other than research on fair and reasonable terms. By contractual agreement between the
Shareholders concerned and the Company, or by resolution of the Council, certain Inventions
may be identified, in respect of which a Shareholder is not obliged to grant a licence to the
Company, to other Shareholders or, at the request of another Shareholder, to any natural or
legal person in that Shareholder's country.
b) The Company shall receive a share of the net returns from all licences granted by the owner
of the rights for purposes other than research, the said share to be determined having regard
to the respective contributions to the Inventions made by the Company and the individual
seconded.
c) When applying for Intellectual Property rights and granting licences, the Company and the
Shareholders shall consult each other in cases of doubt and shall refrain from actions which
may prejudice the Company or Shareholders.
d) The Company shall be the sole owner of all rights in those Inventions made by employees
seconded by a Shareholder as part of its in-kind contribution to the establishment of the
Company together with employees of the Company or together with employees seconded by
other Shareholders as part of their in-kind contributions to the establishment of the Company.
e) If Inventions are made by a seconded employee of one Shareholder jointly with seconded
employees of another Shareholder, these joint Inventions shall belong to both partners, who
shall reach an agreement in each individual case on the sharing and joint exploitation of the
Invention. The provisions of subparagraph a) above shall apply to such Inventions.
f)Save where contractual agreement provides otherwise, the Company shall be the sole owner of
all rights in those Inventions made by employees seconded by a Shareholder together with
Company staff or with employees seconded by another Shareholder as part of its in-kind
contribution to the establishment of the Company.
(3) In relation to Inventions made by staff of the Company jointly with staff of a Shareholder not
seconded to the Company, these Inventions shall belong to both partners, who shall reach an agreement
in each individual case on the sharing and joint exploitation of the Invention. This agreement should
follow the provisions laid out in paragraph 2 above.
Article 19
Confidentiality
(1) In relation to third parties, Shareholders shall treat as confidential all information and objects that
have not been published and are conveyed in confidence by another Shareholder or the Company.
The receiving Shareholder may use such information and objects only for purposes consistent with the
terms of these Articles of Association and of a non-commercial kind. Disclosure of confidential
information or objects shall require the express written consent of the conveying Shareholder or the
Company.
(2) The confidentiality obligation established in paragraph 1 above shall not apply to objects or types

their own SHARES, or
a) to a new Shareholder within the meaning of Article 23(2),
in consideration of a settlement payment in the same amount as foreseen in paragraph 3 above. This is

FINAL ACT
OF THE CONFERENCE OF PLENIPOTENTIARIES
FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FACILITY
FOR ANTIPROTON AND ION RESEARCH IN EUROPE
(1) Following discussions on possible future directions for the facilities of the Gesellschaft für
Schwerionenforschung mbH (GSI), the GSI started developing a concept in 2000 for a facility for
international antiproton and ion research located at the site of the GSI in Darmstadt.
On the basis of a Conceptual Design Report containing a multitude of scientific and technical
contributions from around the world the facility concept was evaluated and endorsed by the
German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat) in 2002.
The decision of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2003 to establish the
proposed facility was followed by the development of a staged construction and science
programme.
An International Steering Committee was created. The constituent meeting of the FAIR
International Steering Committee took place on 2 February 2004.
For the tracking of the development of science and research programmes, technical design,
construction planning, and R&D activities, a working group for scientific and technical issues (STI-
FAIR) was established. Another working group for administrative and financial issues (AFI-
FAIR) was set up to manage the legal, financial and management structure, procedures and legal
documents.
In 2004, a large number of institutions from various countries expressed their interest in
participating in or contributing to the future FAIR facility by signing Letters of Intent.
By the end of February 2007 the Governments of Austria, China, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, India, Italy, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to provide the basis for
international cooperation during the preparatory phase of FAIR.
On 7 November 2007 representatives of ten of the fourteen parties to the Memorandum of
Understanding signed the Communique on the Official Launch of the Facility for Antiproton and
Ion Research in Europe (FAIR), by which they jointly announced the beginning of the realization of
the FAIR project.
(2) At the invitation of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, a Conference of
Plenipotentiaries for the establishment of a Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe met
at Schloss Biebrich in Wiesbaden on 4 October 2010.
(3) Governments of the following countries were represented by delegates: the Republic of Austria, the
People's Republic of China, the Republic of Finland, the French Republic, the Federal Republic
of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Republic of India, the Republic of Italy, the Republic of
Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Slovenia, the
Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.
(4) The Chairperson of the Conference received from the Plenipotentiaries their Full Powers which
he/she examined and recognised to be in correct and proper form.
(5) The Conference took note of the text of the Convention, including its Annex and the four Technical
Documents attached, listed as follows:
Annex: Articles of Association of the "Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in
Europe GmbH" (FAIR GmbH),
Technical Document 1: Description of the FAIR facility to be constructed and the stages of
construction (Part A) and The Modularized Start Version - A stepwise
approach to the realization of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion
Research in Europe (FAIR) (PartB),
Technical Document 2: Detailed breakdown of the construction costs and table showing the
estimated annual incidence of expenditure for construction and
operation,
Technical Document 3: Map of the site where the FAIR facility is to be constructed,
Technical Document 4: Procedure for the acceptance of in-kind contributions and the related
evaluation method.
(6) Upon the recommendation of the FAIR International Steering Committee the Conference adopted
the text of the Convention concerning the Construction and Operation of a Facility for Antiproton
and Ion Research in Europe including its Annex, which forms an integral part of the Convention.
(7) The Conference agreed that the Convention be applied provisionally pending its entry into force,
provided that the provisional application is in line with the national legislation of the Contracting
Parties, and, to that end, adopted Resolution No 1 attached to this Final Act.
(8) The Conference agreed that a minimum commitment to contribute towards construction costs of
the FAIR facility in cash and/or in kind of 11.87 million euro (in January 2005 prices) will entitle a
Contracting Party to designate an appropriate body as a Shareholder of the Facility for Antiproton
and Ion Research in Europe GmbH. The Conference also agreed that this minimum commitment
may be given by several Contracting Parties acting jointly. In such case the appropriate bodies
designated by these Contracting Parties will have to form a consortium which will act as their
Shareholder in the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH. To that end, the
Conference adopted Resolution No 2 attached to this Final Act.
(9) The Conference took note of the Declarations of
− the Government of the French Republic,
− the Government of the Republic of Poland,
− the Government of the Republic of Slovenia,
− the Government of the Kingdom of Spain,
− the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden, attached to this Final Act.
(10) The Conference invited all the signatory Governments to complete as soon as possible their
constitutional procedures, if any, with a view to the entry into force
of the Convention and to inform the depositary Government (Federal Republic of Germany)
accordingly.
(11) The Conference noted favourably that other Governments may sign the Convention within the
next twelve months under the conditions set out in the Convention.
(12) The Conference invited further Governments to accede to the Convention.
In witness whereof, the Plenipotentiaries have signed this Final Act.
Done at Wiesbaden on 4 October 2010 in the English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish
languages, all texts being equally authentic, in a single original, which shall be deposited in the archives
of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, which shall transmit certified true copies to the
Governments having signed this Final Act and to the Governments that become Contracting Parties to
the Convention.

FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FACILITY
FOR ANTIPROTON AND ION RESEARCH IN EUROPE
Minimum commitment to contribute towards construction costs entitling a
Contracting Party to designate an appropriate body as a Shareholder of the Facility for
Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH
THE CONFERENCE
AGREES that a minimum commitment to contribute towards construction costs of the FAIR facility in
cash and/or in kind of 11.87 million euro (in January 2005 prices) entitles a Contracting Party to
designate an appropriate body as a Shareholder of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in
Europe GmbH. This minimum commitment may be given by several Contracting Parties acting jointly. In
such case the appropriate bodies designated by these Contracting Parties will have to form a
consortium which will act as their Shareholder in the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe
GmbH;
NOTES that 11.87 million euro corresponds to 1% of an earlier cost estimate for the construction costs
of the FAIR facility as described in Part A of Technical Document 1, attached to the Convention.
DECLARATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC
WITH REGARD TO THE PROVISIONAL APPLICATION
AND TO ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
THE CONFERENCE
TAKES NOTE of the declaration of the Government of the French Republic, which reads as follows:
In accordance with Resolution No 1 annexed to the Final Act, in which the Contracting Parties agree
that the Convention be applied provisionally until it enters into force, provided that the provisional
application is in line with the national legislation of the Contracting Parties, France hereby declares that
it cannot apply the Convention provisionally from the date of its signature. Article 53 of the Constitution
of the French Republic imposes that international treaties and agreements be authorized by Parliament
prior to their entry into force when, as it is the case, they carry financial consequences committing the
finances of the State.
With respect to the procedure described in Article 6(6) of the Convention, France declares that the
French share in the annual operating costs of the FAIR facility will not exceed 2%.
DECLARATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND
WITH REGARD TO ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
THE CONFERENCE
TAKES NOTE of the declaration of the Government of the Republic of Poland, which reads as follows:
The Republic of Poland will take part in the construction of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in
Europe (FAIR) with an amount of 23.74 million euro (in 2005 prices). This will comprise contributions
both in kind and in cash. The spending priority shall be on in-kind contribution, and in-cash contribution
shall not exceed 11.87 million euro (in 2005 prices).
DECLARATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA
WITH REGARD TO THE PROVISIONAL APPLICATION OF THE CONVENTION
THE CONFERENCE
TAKES NOTE of the declaration of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, which reads as follows:
Regarding the Resolution No 1, annexed to the Final Act, in which Contracting Parties assume that the
Convention can be applied provisionally until the fulfilment of appropriate constitutional procedures in
each of the contracting countries, after which it will enter into force, Slovenia hereby declares that it
cannot apply the Convention provisionally from the date of its signature.
The Slovenian Law on Foreign Affairs in Article 72 allows for provisional use of an international contract
before its entry into force, but only when the ratifying body of this contract is the Government, which
does not apply to this Convention, as its ratification is in jurisdiction of the National Assembly of the
Republic of Slovenia.
DECLARATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF SPAIN
WITH REGARD TO ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
THE CONFERENCE
TAKES NOTE of the declaration of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain, which reads as follows:
Spain is willing to contribute as a participating state to the establishment and utilisation of the Facility for
Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR). Nevertheless, Spain's obligations, on signing the
Convention, shall be as follows:
1. Spain will review its participation in the operational phase two years after the beginning of such
phase, and have the option of withdrawing without penalty, provided that it gives one year's
notice.
2. Following a positive review, Spain may extend its participation for a further three year period,
subject to the corresponding review cycle, and may continue to participate for the whole
duration of the project.
3. Should Spain choose to carry on with the project following its first review, it will assume its full
liability for decommissioning under the Convention. In the event that a decision to withdraw from
participation is made by Spain on the basis of such first review, Spain will only bear fifty percent of
its decommissioning liability under the Convention.
DECLARATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF SWEDEN
WITH REGARD TO ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND CONFIDENTIALITY
THE CONFERENCE
TAKES NOTE of the declaration of the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden, which reads as
follows:
Sweden is willing to contribute as a participating state to the establishment and utilisation of the Facility
for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR). However,
1. The Swedish authority serving as the Swedish shareholder in the FAIR Company, which will
contribute to the construction costs with an amount of 10 million euro (2005 year's prices), will be
designated by the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden after parliamentary approval.
2. Sweden's participation in the construction of FAIR would be on the basis that Sweden will
participate in the operational phase of FAIR for a minimum period of three years but Sweden will
review its continued participation in the operational phase after the first two years and have the
option, should it wish to do so following that review, to withdraw without penalty, after giving one
year's notice.
3. Following a successful review Sweden may offer to extend its participation for a further three (or
five) year period subject to a corresponding review cycle and may continue to participate for the
whole life of the project.
4. In the event that Sweden's first review recommends continued participation in the project,
Sweden will accept in full its decommissioning liability under the Convention.
Should Sweden decide to withdraw from participation following its first review it will accept
liability for fifty per cent of its share of the decommissioning cost under the Convention.
5. Article 19, Confidentiality, in the Articles of Association (Annex to the Convention) should be
interpreted as follows in order to meet the requirements of the regulation in the Swedish
constitution of the principle of public access to documents:
The Swedish authority serving as the Swedish shareholder in the FAIR Company (FAIR GmbH,
based in Germany) shall always consult the conveying Shareholder before taking any decision to
grant third parties access to confidential information as defined in Article 19 of the Articles of
Association. Sweden is aware that if, after such mandatory consultation, the Shareholder has
made it clear that it does not consent to the disclosure of information and, nevertheless, a
Swedish authority would disclose the information, Sweden's action would disturb relations
between Sweden and the Parties to this Convention.
In this context, Sweden recalls the Swedish Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act 2009,
in particular Chapter 15, Section 1, paragraph 1 which reads: "Secrecy shall apply to any
information concerning Sweden's relations with another state, or any information otherwise
concerning another state, an international organization, or an authority, a citizen, or a legal
person in another state, or a stateless person, if it can be assumed that disclosure of the
information would disturb Sweden's international relations or would otherwise cause damage to
the country."

16. člen
Opredelitev pojmov
V 17. in 18. členu naslednji izrazi pomenijo:
a) »znanje« pomeni podatke, tehnično dokumentacijo, strokovno znanje in izkušnje, programsko
opremo in dokumente ne glede na obliko ali način razkritja ali hrambe in ne glede na to, ali so
zaščiteni ali ne;
b) »predhodno znanje« pomeni znanje, obstoječe pred podpisom tega akta o ustanovitvi;
c) »novo znanje« pomeni znanje, pridobljeno z delom, ki je bilo opravljeno po podpisu tega akta o
ustanovitvi, v okviru dejavnosti družbe;
d) »izum« pomeni znanje, za katerega se lahko pridobi uporabne modele ali patente, t. j. je
industrijsko uporabljiv, nov in na inventivni ravni.
17. člen
Intelektualna lastnina
(1) Družbeniki podelijo družbi brezplačno in brez omejitev neizključno in neprenosljivo licenco za
uporabo svojega predhodnega znanja, zaščitenega ali ne, s katerim lahko pravno razpolagajo, in ki je
potrebno za namene sodelovanja v družbi.
(2) Družbeniki prav tako podelijo družbi, brezplačno in brez omejitev neizključno in neprenosljivo
licenco za uporabo novega znanja in nadaljnjih izpopolnitev, zaščitenih ali ne, s katerimi lahko pravno
razpolagajo, in ki so jih dosegli v okviru svojega sodelovanja v družbi.
(3) Vsa intelektualna lastnina, ki jo ustvari osebje, zaposleno pri družbi, je last družbe, razen če ni
zajeta v ločenih pogodbah.
(4) Na zahtevo družba družbenikom in javno financiranim raziskovalnim ustanovam, ki so jih ti
določili, brezplačno podeli neizključno in neprenosljivo licenco za uporabo svoje intelektualne lastnine
za njihove raziskovalne dejavnosti. Za namene, ki niso raziskovalni, se lahko licenca podeli
družbenikom pod poštenimi in razumnimi pogoji. Če posamezni družbenik to odobri, lahko družba
vsaki fizični ali pravni osebi v državi ali državah tega družbenika podeli licenco pod poštenimi in
razumnimi pogoji za druge namene, ki niso raziskovalni, razen kadar svet ne odloči drugače.
(5) Če želi družba pridobiti licenco od tretje osebe za uporabo intelektualne lastnine, si po najboljših
močeh prizadeva pridobiti pravico iz take licence do podeljevanja podlicenc družbenikom, kakor je
določeno v četrtem odstavku zgoraj.
18. člen
Izumi
(1) V zvezi z izumi osebja družbe družba uporabi pravila nemškega zakona o izumih zaposlenih
(Gesetz über Arbeitnehmer- erfindungen – ArbnErfG). Če se družba ne odloči za prijavo patenta v eni
ali več državah, lahko s privolitvijo družbe zaposleni, ki je avtor izuma, zaprosi za takšno zaščito v
svojem imenu, na svoje stroške in v svojo korist.
(2) V zvezi z izumi osebja, ki ga na delo v družbo napoti družbenik, med opravljanjem njihovega
dela pri družbi, se uporabljajo naslednje določbe:
a) Družbenik pošiljatelj je lastnik vseh pravic za izume, katerih avtorji so izključno napoteni
zaposleni, ob upoštevanju zakonodajnih ali pogodbenih določb, ki veljajo za izume
zaposlenih. Družbenik pošiljatelj ima pravico, da v vsaki državi prijavi v svojem imenu, na
svoje stroške in v svojo korist patente, potrebne za zaščito takšnih izumov. Družba in
drugi družbeniki imajo pravico do uporabe izuma v raziskovalne namene brez plačila in
pravico do licence za namene, ki niso raziskovalni, pod poštenimi in razumnimi pogoji.
Poleg tega družbenik, ki je lastnik pravic, na zahtevo drugega družbenika vsaki fizični ali
pravni osebi v državi ali državah družbenikov ne zavrne podelitve licence za namene, ki
niso raziskovalni, pod poštenimi in razumnimi pogoji. S pogodbami med posameznimi
družbeniki in družbo ali s sklepom sveta se lahko določijo posamezni izumi, glede katerih
družbenik ni zavezan podeliti licence družbi, drugim družbenikom ali na zahtevo drugega
družbenika vsaki fizični ali pravni osebi v državi tega družbenika.
b) Družba prejme delež neto donosa od vseh licenc, ki jih podeli lastnik pravic za namene, ki
niso raziskovalni, pri čemer se omenjeni delež določi ob upoštevanju, koliko sta k izumom
prispevala družba in napoteni posameznik.
c) Kadar se vlagajo zahteve za pravice intelektualne lastnine in ob podeljevanju licenc, se
ob dvomih družba in družbeniki posvetujejo in vzdržijo dejanj, ki bi škodovala družbi ali
družbenikom.
d) Družba je edini lastnik vseh pravic za izume, ki so jih izumili zaposleni, ki jih je družbenik
napotil na delo kot del stvarnega vložka za ustanovitev družbe, skupaj z zaposlenimi
družbe ali skupaj z zaposlenimi, ki so jih na delo napotili drugi družbeniki kot del stvarnih
vložkov za ustanovitev družbe.
e) Skupni izumi napotenih zaposlenih dveh različnih družbenikov pripadajo obema
partnerjema, ki se za vsak primer posebej sporazumeta o delitvi in skupnem izkoriščanju
izuma. Za takšne izume veljajo določbe pododstavka a).
f) Razen kadar pogodba ne določa drugače, je družba edini lastnik vseh pravic za skupne izume
zaposlenih, ki jih je napotil družbenik, in osebja družbe ali zaposlenih, ki jih je na delo
napotil drugi družbenik kot del svojega stvarnega vložka za ustanovitev družbe.
(3) V zvezi s skupnimi izumi osebja družbe z osebjem družbenika, ki ni napoteno na delo v družbo,
ti izumi pripadajo obema partnerjema, ki se za vsak primer posebej
sporazumeta o delitvi in skupnem izkoriščanju izuma. Ta sporazum mora upoštevati določbe iz
drugega odstavka.
19. člen
Zaupnost
(1) Družbeniki v odnosu do tretjih strani obravnavajo kot zaupne vse podatke in stvari, ki niso bili
objavljeni in ki jih drugi družbenik ali družba pošlje zaupno. Družbenik prejemnik lahko uporabi takšne
podatke in stvari samo za nekomercialne namene v skladu s pogoji tega akta o ustanovitvi. Za
razkritje zaupnih podatkov ali stvari se zahteva izrecno pisno soglasje družbenika, ki jih pošlje, ali
družbe.
(2) Obveznost zaupnosti iz prvega odstavka ne velja za stvari ali vrste podatkov, ki:
a) jih je družbenik prejemnik razvil ali jih razvija neodvisno od takih podatkov,
b) so del splošno dostopnega stanja tehnike ali ki so dosegli to stanje brez kakršne koli
udeležbe družbenika prejemnika,
c) so ob razkritju že v posesti družbenika prejemnika ali
d) jih je družbeniku zakonito razkrila tretja stran, ki jih ima v zakoniti posesti in nima
obveznosti ohranjati zaupnost.
(3) Obveznost zaupnosti iz prvega odstavku preneha veljati pet let po dnevu vpisa prenehanja
družbe iz trgovinskega registra. Družbeniki naložijo enako obveznost zaupnosti vsem svojim odvisnim
družbam in podizvajalcem, zaposlenim in drugemu osebju, ki dela za družbenika in bi lahko imelo
dostop do zaupnih podatkov.
V. poglavje
Odbor
20. člen
Znanstveni svet

izvršnim direktorjem v bistvenih znanstvenih in tehničnih zadevah.
(2) Znanstveni svet sestavlja od 8 do 12 članov. Na predlog znanstvenega sveta in po posvetu z
izvršnimi direktorji člane imenuje svet.
(3) Znanstveni svet izvoli predsednika. Znanstveni svet sprejme poslovnik, za katerega se zahteva
odobritev sveta.
VI. poglavje
Finančne zadeve
21. člen
Letno finančno poročilo
(1) V prvih treh mesecih po zaključku finančnega leta izvršni direktorji pripravijo letno finančno in
poslovno poročilo (»Lagebericht« v pomenu GmbHG). Glede priprave in revizije letnega finančnega in
poslovnega poročila se smiselno uporabljajo pravila nemškega trgovinskega zakonika (HGB) za velike
gospodarske družbe.
(2) Letno finančno in poslovno poročilo pregleda pooblaščeni neodvisni revizor (»Abschlussprüfer«
v pomenu HGB). Revizor se imenuje s sklepom sveta pred zaključkom finančnega leta, za katero bo
izvedena revizija. Revizor se imenuje za eno leto. Revizor se lahko ponovno imenuje. Takoj po
imenovanju se revizorju naroči, da med drugim pregleda pravilnost poslovanja (oddelek 53 (1) Zakona
o proračunskih načelih za federacijo in dežele (Gesetz über die Grundsätze des Haushaltsrechts des Bundes und der Länder – HGrG) z dne 19. avgusta 19693) in dopolni poročilo v skladu z oddelkom
53 (1), št. 2 zakona (HGrG).
(3) Po prejemu revizijskega poročila (»Prüfungsbericht« v pomenu HGB) morajo izvršni direktorji
brez odlašanja svetu predložiti izvod letnega finančnega poročila, katerega izvirnik mora imeti pravno
zavezujoče podpise izvršnih direktorjev, ter poslovno poročilo skupaj z revizijskim poročilom, ki
vključuje pisno mnenje. V prvih šestih mesecih po zaključku finančnega leta svet odloči o sprejetju
letnega finančnega poročila.

zakonodaji.
VII. poglavje
Spremembe deležev
23. člen
Sprejem novih družbenikov in prenos DELEŽEV
(1) Pri vsaki spremembi finančnih vložkov pogodbenice, udeleženi družbeniki opravijo ustrezni
prenos DELEŽEV.
(2) Družba je odprta za sprejem novih družbenikov, ki jih imenuje(jo) ustrezna(e) pogodbenica(e).
Svet je pristojen za odločanje o pogojih pristopa novih družbenikov.
(3) Če ni v zvezi s povišanjem osnovnega kapitala s svetom dogovorjeno drugače, novi družbenik
pridobi DELEŽE ali njihove dele od enega ali več obstoječih družbenikov.
(4) Za pridobitev DELEŽEV ali njihovih delov od obstoječega družbenika se zahteva soglasna
odobritev sveta. Taka odobritev se domneva, če je družbenika pridobitelja imenovala ista pogodbenica
kakor družbenika(e) odstopnika(e).
(5) Vsaka odločitev o prenosu DELEŽEV ali njihovih delov z vpisom sklepa sveta postane
dokončna in izvršni direktorji jo razglasijo.
24. člen
Odkup ali prisilni odstop DELEŽEV
(1) Odkup družbenikovega DELEŽA ali njegovih delov se dovoli, če družbenik s tem soglaša.
(2) Odkup družbenikovega DELEŽA ali njegovih delov se dovoli brez soglasja družbenika, če:
a) so sredstva družbenika postala del postopka insolventnosti ali je bil predlog za uvedbo
postopka insolventnosti zavržen zaradi pomanjkanja sredstev,
b) DELEŽ družbenika postane predmet izvršilnega postopka, če takšen postopek ni bil
ustavljen v obdobju treh mesecev in/ali DELEŽ v tem obdobju še ni bil vnovčen,
c) družbenik krši svoje temeljne obveznosti po tem aktu o ustanovitvi ali notranjih predpisih
družbe, vključno s tem, da več kot tri leta zamuja s plačilom denarnih vložkov ali z
zagotovitvijo stvarnih vložkov.
V teh primerih ta družbenik nima glasovalne pravice pri odločanju o odkupu in se njegovi glasovi ne
upoštevajo pri določanju dosežene večine. Kljub temu ima družbenik pravico do udeležbe na ustrezni
seji sveta in do utemeljitve pred sprejetjem sklepa glede odkupa ali odstopa.
(3) Ob odkupu vpleteni družbenik od družbe prejme poplačilo v višini nominalne vrednosti
njegovega DELEŽA. V primerih, zajetih z drugim a) in b) odstavkom, morebitni pridobitelj ne postane
družbenik, ampak prejme poplačilo v višini nominalne vrednosti DELEŽA.
(4) Namesto odkupa DELEŽA lahko svet s kvalificirano večino sklene, da se DELEŽ odstopi
a) enemu ali več preostalih družbenikov, ki so pripravljeni pridobiti takšen delež poleg
svojega lastnega DELEŽA, ali
b) novemu družbeniku v pomenu drugega odstavka 23. člena,
ob upoštevanju poplačila enakega zneska, kakor je predviden v tretjem odstavku zgoraj. To je mogoče
tudi v obliki, da se del DELEŽA odkupi in drugi del odstopi. Poplačilo poravnajo družbeniki, ki jim je
odstopljen DELEŽ ali njegovi deli.
(5) Veljavnost odkupa ali odstopa ni odvisna od plačila zneska za poplačilo.
(6) Vsaka odločitev o odkupu ali odstopu DELEŽA ali njegovega dela postane dokončna z vpisom
sklepa sveta in izvršni direktorji jo razglasijo.
25. člen
Izstop družbenika
Družbenik, ki izstopi iz družbe, ne da bi bila družba likvidirana, lahko zahteva samo poplačilo, omejeno
na nominalno vrednost njegovega DELEŽA.
VIII. poglavje
Prenehanje družbe
26. člen
Likvidacija družbe ali sprememba dejavnosti
(1) Ob družbenikovem izstopu iz družbe, prenehanju družbe ali če za dejavnost družbe prenehajo
veljati davčne ugodnosti, družbeniki ne morejo dobiti povrnjeno več od zneska vplačanih osnovnih
deležev in poštene tržne vrednosti njihovih nedenarnih kapitalskih vložkov.
(2) Ob prenehanju družbe ali če za dejavnost družbe prenehajo veljati davčne ugodnosti, se
sredstva družbe, ki presegajo znesek vplačanih osnovnih deležev delničarjev in pošteno tržno
vrednost nedenarnih kapitalskih vložkov delničarjev, prenesejo na GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, ki sredstva neposredno porabi izključno za dejavnosti v javnem
interesu, ali jih po posvetovanju z nemškimi davčnimi organi nameni drugi družbi, za katero veljajo
davčne ugodnosti, ali drugi pravni osebi javnega prava za znanstveni in raziskovalni namen.
IX. poglavje
Razno
27. člen
Odgovornost
(1) Družbeniki zagotovijo, da družba pridobi zadostno zavarovanje za kritje škode osebam in na
predmetih, ki jo povzroči napoteno osebje ali v družbo vabljeni znanstveniki in strokovnjaki, v obsegu,
v katerem odgovornost ni zajeta že z drugim zavarovanjem. To ne velja za škodo, ki je povzročena
namerno ali iz hude malomarnosti.
(2) V zadevah glede odgovornosti, ki jih ni mogoče rešiti v skladu s prvim odstavkom, se družbeniki
nemudoma posvetujejo, da bi dosegli poravnavo škode.

SKLEPNA LISTINA
KONFERENCE POOBLAŠČENCEV
ZA USTANOVITEV CENTRA
ZA RAZISKAVE Z ANTIPROTONI IN IONI V EVROPI
(1) Po razgovorih glede možnih prihodnjih usmeritev zmogljivosti Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung GmbH (GSI) je GSI leta 2000 začel pripravljati zasnovo centra za
mednarodne raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni na lokaciji GSI v Darmstadtu.
Na podlagi idejnega projekta, ki vsebuje številne znanstvene in tehnične prispevke s celega
sveta, je zasnovo centra leta 2002 ovrednotil in potrdil nemški znanstveni svet
(Wissenschaftsrat).
Po sklepu Vlade Zvezne republike Nemčije iz leta 2003 o ustanovitvi predlaganega centra sta
bila pripravljena načrt fazne izgradnje in znanstveni program.
Oblikovan je bil mednarodni usmerjevalni odbor. Ustanovitvena seja mednarodnega
usmerjevalnega odbora FAIR je bila 2. februarja 2004.
Za spremljanje priprave znanstvenih in raziskovalnih programov, tehničnega načrta, gradbenih
načrtov ter razvojne in raziskovalne dejavnosti je bila ustanovljena delovna skupina za
znanstvene in tehnične zadeve (STI-FAIR). Dodatna delovna skupina za upravne in finančne
zadeve (AFI-FAIR) je bila ustanovljena za vzpostavitev pravne, finančne in upravljavska
strukture, postopkov in sestavo pravnih dokumentov.
S podpisom pisem o nameri je leta 2004 veliko število ustanov iz različnih držav izrazilo interes
za sodelovanje ali prispevek za prihodnji center FAIR .
Do konca februarja 2007 so vlade Avstrije, Kitajske, Finske, Francije, Nemčije, Grčije, Indije,
Italije, Poljske, Romunije, Rusije, Španije, Švedske in Združenega kraljestva Velika Britanija in
Severna Irska podpisale memorandum o soglasju, da bi zagotovile podlago za mednarodno
sodelovanje med pripravljalno fazo centra FAIR.
7. novembra 2007 so predstavniki desetih od štirinajstih pogodbenic memoranduma o soglasju
podpisali sporočilo o uradni ustanovitvi centra za raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi (FAIR),
s katerim so skupaj oznanili začetek uresničevanja projekta FAIR.
(2) Na povabilo Vlade Zvezne republike Nemčije se je na gradu Biebrich v Wiesbadnu 4. oktobra
2010 sestala konferenca pooblaščencev za ustanovitev centra za raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni
v Evropi.

Republika Indija, Italijanska republika, Republika Poljska, Romunija, Ruska federacija, Slovaška
republika, Republika Slovenija, Kraljevina Španija, Kraljevina Švedska in Združeno kraljestvo
Velika Britanija in Severna Irska.
(4) Pooblaščenci so predsedniku(ci) konference predali svoja polna pooblastila, ki jih je preučil(a) in
ugotovil(a), da so pooblastila v pravilni in ustrezni obliki.
(5) Konferenca se je seznanila z besedilom konvencije, vključno z njeno prilogo in štirimi
priloženimi tehničnimi dokumenti:
Priloga: Akt o ustanovitvi »Centra za raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi

Tehnični dokument 4: postopek prevzema stvarnih vložkov in s tem povezan način
vrednotenja.
(6) Po priporočilu mednarodnega usmerjevalnega odbora FAIR je konferenca sprejela besedilo
Konvencije o izgradnji in delovanju Centra za raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi, vključno z
njeno prilogo, ki je sestavni del konvencije.
(7) Konferenca se je strinjala, da se konvencija do začetka njene veljavnosti uporablja začasno, če
je začasna uporaba v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo pogodbenic, in v ta namen sprejela sklep št.
1, ki je priložen tej sklepni listini.
(8) Konferenca se je strinjala, da bo z zavezo prispevati za gradbene stroške centra FAIR najmanj
11,87 milijona evrov (ob upoštevanju cen iz januarja leta 2005) v denarju in/ali s stvarnim
vložkom, pogodbenica upravičena do imenovanja ustreznega telesa kot družbenika Centra za
raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi GmbH. Konferenca se je tudi strinjala, da se lahko za ta
najmanjši prispevek zaveže več pogodbenic skupaj. V tem primeru morajo ustrezna telesa, ki jih
imenujejo te pogodbenice, oblikovati konzorcij, ki bo deloval kot njihov družbenik v Centru za
raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi GmbH. V ta namen je konferenca sprejela sklep št. 2, ki
je priložen tej sklepni listini.

družbenik v Centru za raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi GmbH,

kakor v tem primeru.

IZJAVA VLADE REPUBLIKE SLOVENIJE
V ZVEZI Z ZAČASNO UPORABO KONVENCIJE
KONFERENCA
SE JE SEZNANILA z izjavo Vlade Republike Slovenije, ki se glasi:
v zvezi s sklepom št. 1, priloženim k sklepni listini, v kateri je predvideno, da pogodbenice konvencijo
lahko začasno uporabljajo, dokler v posameznih državah pogodbenicah niso dokončani ustrezni
ustavni postopki za začetek veljavnosti konvencije , Slovenija izjavlja, da konvencije od dneva podpisa
ne more začasno uporabljati.
Slovenski zakon o zunanjih zadevah v 72. členu omogoča začasno uporabo mednarodne pogodbe
pred njenim začetkom veljavnosti samo v primerih, ko je za njeno ratifikacijo pristojna Vlada Republike
Slovenije, kar pa ne velja za to konvencijo, saj je njena ratifikacija v pristojnosti Državnega zbora
Republike Slovenije.

odstopi brez pogodbene kazni, če to stori z enoletnim odpovednim rokom.
2. Če je ocena pregleda pozitivna, lahko Španija podaljša sodelovanje za nadaljnje triletno
obdobje ob upoštevanju ustreznega cikla pregleda in lahko še naprej sodeluje v celotnem
obdobju trajanja projekta.
3. Če se Španija po prvem pregledu odloči za nadaljevanje projekta, prevzame polno
odgovornost za razgradnjo po konvenciji. Če se Španija na podlagi prvega pregleda odloči za
odstop od sodelovanja, krije le petdeset odstotkov svoje obveznosti za razgradnjo centra po
konvenciji.
IZJAVA VLADE KRALJEVINE ŠVEDSKE
V ZVEZI Z NJENIMI FINANČNIMI OBVEZNOSTMI IN ZAUPNOSTJO
KONFERENCA
SE JE SEZNANILA z izjavo Vlade Kraljevine Švedske, ki se glasi:
Švedska je pripravljena prispevati kot sodelujoča država k vzpostavitvi in delovanju Centra za
raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi (FAIR). Vendar:
1. švedski organ, ki bo deloval kot švedski družbenik v družbi FAIR in bo za gradbene stroške
prispeval znesek v višini 10 milijonov evrov (v cenah iz leta 2005), bo imenovala Vlada
Kraljevine Švedske po odobritvi v parlamentu;
2. podlaga za sodelovanje Švedske pri izgradnji centra FAIR je njeno najmanj triletno sodelovanje
v operativni fazi centra FAIR, vendar pa bo Švedska po prvih dveh letih ponovno preučila svoje
nadaljnje sodelovanje v operativni fazi in imela možnost brez pogodbene kazni odstopiti z
enoletnim odpovednim rokom, če bi po opravljenem pregledu to želela;
3. po uspešnem pregledu lahko Švedska ponudi podaljšanje svojega sodelovanja za nadaljnje
triletno (ali petletno) obdobje ob upoštevanju ustreznega cikla pregleda in lahko še naprej
sodeluje v celotnem obdobju trajanja projekta;
4. če bo po prvem pregledu Švedske priporočeno njeno nadaljnje sodelovanje v projektu, bo
Švedska v celoti sprejela svojo obveznost za razgradnjo centra po konvenciji.
Če se po prvem pregledu Švedska odloči za odstop od sodelovanja, bo sprejela odgovornost za
petdeset odstotkov svojega deleža pri stroških razgradnje po konvenciji;
5. da bi zadostili zahtevam pravila v švedski ustavi glede načela javnega dostopa do dokumentov
je treba 19. člen v aktu o ustanovitvi (priloga h konvenciji) o zaupnosti, razlagati tako:
Švedski organ, ki bo deloval kot švedski družbenik v družbi FAIR (FAIR GmbH, s sedežem v
Nemčiji), se vedno posvetuje z družbenikom, ki je poslal zaupne podatke, kakor so opredeljeni v
19. členu akta o ustanovitvi, preden sprejme kakršno koli odločitev, s katero dovoljuje tretjim
osebam dostop do teh podatkov. Švedska se zaveda, da če po takšnem obveznem
posvetovanju družbenik izjavi, da ne soglaša z razkritjem podatkov, in bi jih švedski organ kljub
temu razkril, bi ravnanje Švedske skalilo odnose med Švedsko in pogodbenicami te konvencije.
V tem okviru se Švedska sklicuje na švedski zakon o javnem dostopu do informacij in tajnosti iz
leta 2009, še posebej prvi odstavek prvega oddelka 15. poglavja, ki se glasi: »Tajnost velja za
vsak podatek, ki se nanaša na odnose Švedske z drugo državo, ali vsak podatek, ki se kako
drugače nanaša na drugo državo, mednarodno organizacijo, organ, državljana ali pravno osebo
v drugi državi ali osebo brez državljanstva, če se lahko domneva, da bi razkritje podatkov lahko
skalilo mednarodne odnose Švedske ali kako drugače škodilo državi«.
3. člen
Za izvajanje sporazuma skrbi Ministrstvo za visoko šolstvo, znanost in tehnologijo.
4. člen
Republika Slovenija v skladu z drugim odstavkom 1. člena Konvencije o izgradnji in delovanju Centra za raziskave z antiprotoni in ioni v Evropi (FAIR) kot družbenika, ki deluje v njenem imenu, določa Ministrstvo za visoko šolstvo, znanost in tehnologijo.
5. člen
Ta zakon začne veljati naslednji dan po objavi v Uradnem listu Republike Slovenije – Mednarodne pogodbe.
